You do realize that armor literally doesn't matter outside of poise, and if you want poise you can just as easily use armor available in the early game, right?
The only actual use for twinking armor is for fashion purposes. Simple as that.

Christian Ross
Only if you're good at using it from around blind corners.
Joseph James
Whatever you say, user. If I have to go against 3-5 other players at once, I'm going to do it with every advantage I can get (especially since the host gets extra HP, double estus, and can seed the world).
Try invading some time and see how it goes. Maybe you will understand better after being pounded into the ground by three different password summoned ganksquads in a row.
Jonathan Moore
# Apart from some dlc rings, any twink that ends up with +3 rings deserves them. The guy that combs this tediously linear game up to ng+3 in order to better fuck with shitters and their summons is okay in my book
Evan Lee
absolutely it's a good turn n burn around corners, same as dark hand. just sprint around a corner when they're chasing you, hit the button, and turn around and melt their face if they just start mashing rolls at you you can fire that baby up and they'll get fucked it pairs very nicely with black serpent it's risky but I wouldn't do invasions without it as a pyro desu
Lincoln Jones
best pvp advice?
Asher Nelson
don't die don't do duels blues are estus pinatas
Henry Ward
don't get hit lmao
Jaxson Roberts
Try the summoner class.
Jayden Rivera
I wonder how many of those were dropped or CE'd, though.
Jaxon Butler
Honestly it's 2 sides of the same coin. From can't tell how to nerf twinks, so they nerf invaders as a whole. Thing is, invaders are only nerfed as in being unable to straight up duel a host, at least not on equal skill level. There are many tools you can use as a dickwraith. It's just that people are stuck in ds1 hypertwink or ds2/bb duelfag mindsets
Matthew Kelly
hit your opponents until they die
Jeremiah Watson
>implying we play this shitty game for +3 rings and not just use Collectors Edition for everything I don't see why someone would spend 10 hours just to do low level invasions when there are more efficient options available. Oh, unless you're a consolefag.
Dominic Bennett
[something obvious]
Leo Brown
You'll notice there are also a lot of new players asking basic questions over the last couple of threads, too. There's a correlation there, to be sure. Dark Souls 3 was the game that broke me in terms of invading: I always gave most people I invaded the benefit of the doubt in previous games, but DaS3's awful community finally brought out the Dickwraith in me.
Camden Bell
I am fucking tired of running through this game to complete a build, how likely am I to get bampersand for just CEing a sl70 or 80 or whatever to normal stats and gear upgrades
Jonathan Evans
hey don't mix us bb invaders with ds2 dueling scum i had like 80 hours on bl43 twink
Leo Lewis
Zero if you itemswap generic souls and use a script in the public table for free upgrades.
Chase Miller
>Invader has 29 poise >I don't Tell me what armor combo before the abyss watchers gives 29 poise without an unreasonable stat investment at level 20 (No prisoners chain for people just going through the game, only for the invader). And then ask yourself what are the chances someone finds that armor combo. >Fashion only You've clearly never met a tryhard twink, have you?
Jordan Thomas
I've been using CE since Ringed City released. I stopped playing until like a week ago and when I returned I still haven't even been softbanned even on my I-blatantly-cheat family share account. As long as you use common sense with item swap you'll be fine.
Landon Jenkins
I'm afraid to take on the boss past the Tower on the Wall. I know I'll get murdered and lose everything.
Logan Hughes
The idea here user is that no twink is going through the game anymore. Its just CE or dropping "Hey! That's a neat build idea! I can't wait to invade in 45 hours once I get the rings!"-Never
Joseph Reyes
The Lothric K***ht and Exile sets have 38 and 43 poise, respectively. If you can't mix and match the pieces from those sets and others to get to 29, then I don't know what to tell you.
I suppose that's why I've never gone too deep into invading: I've not once opened up the collector's edition. Wouldn't mind making a DaS2 hex build though, so that might change.
Kayden Gonzalez
There's also the Cathedral Knight and Black Knights that you can kill in Farron Keep and Cathedral of the Deep for their stuff.
Nathaniel Parker
>before abyss watchers >can already get sellsword helm, one of the most poise-optimal helm >can get gundyr leggings, one of the most poise-optimal leggings >already have multiple full medium, heavy and even poise-effective light armour like shadow set to mix and match

>moving_goalposts.bmp If we're going to take every scenario you offer, then a total noob who knows nothing about the game or PvP is just as likely to be destroyed by an invader new to the game but who has invaded a few times already.
You asked for 29 poise before Abyss Watchers, and were given numerous options reasonably available to any player. Just accept that you lost.
Isaiah Foster
You can dickwraith in any game but in those people tend to duelfag more
Jonathan Clark
The actual shitters will struggle a lot with lothric knights and by dying over and over they will eventually start getting their armor. Then it's just simple "yeah this looks cool", so they wear it. Also >10-15 level on vitality Knight can wear two pieces of that armor on his base vit

>Explicitly ask "What are the chances someone would find that armor combo" >Retard user assumes that means someone with experience in the game, and not a completely new player Why would an experienced player need to find armor? I know its a context clue, but you should have thought harder. >Clarifying=Moving goalposts >You lose Pfft Enjoy stomping on new players, I'm sure you feel big with all that gear that doesn't matter

Jason Johnson
So, what is your original argument then? That an invader with twinking gear has an unfair advantage against a completely new player? I could just as easily say that a new invader has no chance against a host who got his passworded friends to drop him end-game rings and gear, and then point out that I completely destroyed your "argument."
You're just assblasted that you got your ass handed to you by a twink invader at some point on one of your characters, which literally happens all the time to all players. This is how invading works in Dark Souls 3, fucking deal with it. It's still nowhere near as bad as twinking was in the first game.
Chase Morales

I'm new but I love when someone invades because it's so hilarious. I got in a party of 3 and some thief invades us then leads us away and hides on the roof. Meanwhile we're getting attacked by mobs and the thief is hiding while sniping at us. It's honestly hilarious.
Logan Anderson
Oh, a journey of thousand joys awaits you.
Luke Clark
>get invaded >starting armor and shield >hollowslayer greatsword >fatrolling >r1 all day long
It was so painfully obvious he was new to the game. I should have let him kill me. Now I feel bad.
Xavier Harris

Aiden Bennett
I usually leave these kinds of people an ember after I've brought them low enough on HP and then crystal out. Except for summoners, and espececially no mercy upon password summons.
Brayden Sullivan
Would anyone have any 99 stacks of Great Champion souls they'd be willing to spare? It's not for a twink, I swear on my life, but rather an autistic max level character that I've been working on for ages and I can't rest until it's completed
Kevin Watson
I meant from an invader perspective, oops.
Xavier White
Could somebody please drop some gear for my new themed/RP invader? I'd like to make a backup save with all the gear at SL 1, so I can experiment with different builds at different levels, but I don't have it in me to struggle through the endgame like this again and I'm scared of fucking up with CE.
I can return the favor and drop stuff from my other character, or help you mule if you don't use CE. You won't even lose anything if you back up and reload your save.
Ashy One Kenobi, you're my only hope...

Gabriel Cook
Moonlight sword in BB is fun as fuck and now I want to replay DS1 as an int build with it. Anyone got any good builds? SL 120 preferable.
Joshua Long
Yeah.
Aiden Barnes
On ps4 by the way, which makes this even more unreasonable of a request
David Reyes
Well, he's the last boss of the whole game. It's normal for him to be the hardest.
Cooper Jackson
He's actually difficult if you don't parry him.
Luke Jones
>controller vibrates when fatrolling in deep water Why?
yeah really seems to be, his other moves arent that bad but the real fast two hit combo is a bitch.
i feel like i need to get more vitality maybe

What happened? Did I trigger some strange bug? Is this one monster not affected by the bonfire? At least the souls were right there when I respawned and I could level up right away.

>phantom is blatantly cheating >kill the host anyway Remember dudes, if your phantom is cheating and you don't crystal them out, you're just as bad as them Not if you locate your l2 button or equivalent, but yeah, he's pretty rough if you don't fag it up The ds1 version doesn't even compare. Still a solid choice though. 16/10/40 is the optimal for it, raise dex for Velka's and (I think) MLBH. I prefer 16/10/40 with lots of vit and end, maybe a homomass in the mix
Noah Nelson
Thank you user, you're a lifesaver! I'm hoping you could help me with these, preferably unupgraded:
Hopefully this isn't too much to ask. I have to run through for estus anyway, so I can pick up the rest of my armor and accessories along the way.

my quest for great chaos fireball continues, I finally managed to claim rank 2 after three days of dueling. I can already feel the hollowing kicking in, all the metalords with their poking weapons, hackers that instabreak your equipment and emote spamming epic trolls. Slowly but surely my build too has been evolving, first it wasthe jester robe then the ice rapier. It makes me question does any of this matter, is the prize worth all this suffering? I just don't know what I'm fighting for anymore.
